john kerry who lost to george bush is a senator. al gore who lost, remember that just a little bit in 2000, he was the vice president, so he had to be there. and one other interesting note is that speaking of bush, george w. bush and george h.w. bush, father and son, neither will be here. george 41, the older, was in the hospital. he was just released. the younger said that he is not coming because he wants to be with his father. we know, covering george bush, he likes to stay low-key, and this is not the kind of thing that he likes to come to for lots of reasons. last time he was here when he was departing the white house, it was mixed when you look at the public perception and the public reaction to it. but i think that, you know, he likes to stay out of the limelight even at traditional events like this. >> think about it. george h.w. bush was here for both reagan inaugurals, then his own inaugural, bill clinton's inaugural. i'm not sure we had a bush at the second inaugural. both were governors. the bush name has been around a l

do you see josh kerry in -- john kerry taking our foreign policy in a different direction than, say, hillary clinton has? >> i think part of the problem for senator kerry is exactly the problem senator clinton had when she became secretary of state. there is no foreign policy that is made at the state department anymore. this is all owned inside the white house, inside the oval office. even folks on the national security council are cut out of the making of foreign policy. jon: let's talk a little bit about hillary clinton and her testimony yesterday. you have suggested that some of the senators, some of the members of congress who were questioning her sort of missed the point. >> well, there were -- the poor woman, she did do a full day up on capitol hill, and she was certainly very well prepared. the problem was she wasn't well prepared to talk about what happened. she was more well prepared to talk about the aftermath. and, of course, we all know what the aftermath is. what we want to know is how did the administration let this happen, why did the president of the united states an

how much do you think john kerry in the wake of this foreign policy discussion that, let's be honest, is not often had. we focus a lot on domestic affairs. there's not been a lot of pressure, i think, on the president to verbalize what he wants to do as far as america's role in the national stage. how much of this hearing is going to filter through to john kerry's hearing to sort of give us an outline? >> i think absolutely in kerry's hearing, again, this is going to be more aimed at president obama to try to get kerry on the record with some commitments about particularly iran and some of the other conflicts around the world. i think one of the reasons, and this has been talked about, that the president likes john kerry and his position and likes chuck hagel, if we're talking about iran, talking about algeria, talking about a fragile state in south africa, we have to be really careful how we engage, because it's easy to say, let's bomb iran, send troops. where are we going to get those troops and how can we afford to do that? not the least of which, how do we know that doesn't turn i
